SESSION 1

0930 -1030 PATIENT SAFETY PRIORITIES IN HEALTHCARE

Patient Safety is a new healthcare discipline that emphasizes the reporting, analysis, and prevention of medical error
that often lead to adverse healthcare events. The frequency and magnitude of avoidable adverse patient events was
not well known until the 1990s, when multiple countries reported staggering numbers of patients harmed and killed by
medical errors. Recognizing that healthcare errors impact 1 in every 10 patients around the world, the World Health
Organization calls patient safety an endemic concern.

SESSION 2

1100 -1200 FRAMEWORK: A SAFETY IMPERATIVE

Patient Safety helps in defining quality health care. Keeping our patients safe is a challenging issue because errors and
mistakes can and do happen. Error occurs “when a planned sequence of mental and physical activities fails to achieve
the intended outcome and when this failure cannot be attributed to some chance intervention or occurrence”. Meeting
these goals helps healthcare facilities to ensure that a safe healthcare environment is provided for the patient.
Accreditation is the most important initiative one can take up to improve patient safety standards in their organization
as well as their country/ region.

1200 -1300 FOCUS: MONITORING & ANALYSIS

Hospitals are getting more difficult to manage every day. Management has to do more with less – more regulations,
more complexity in care, more technology, changing reimbursement, yet fewer staff. Goals are also more challenging.
Everybody agrees that hospital care must be made safer. The question remains – how do we go about making care safer
in our hospital?

SESSION 5

1530 -1645 MAPPING YOUR INNOVATION QUOTIENT: BEST PRACTICES

Best practices are generally-accepted, informally-standardized techniques, methods, or processes that have
proven themselves over time to accomplish given tasks. Often based upon common sense, these practices are
commonly used where no specific formal methodology is in place or the existing methodology does not
sufficiently address the issue. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can
be delivered more effectively with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. In addition, a "best" practice
can evolve to become better as improvements are discovered.

1700 -1800 NURSING ENGAGEMENT- BEST PRACTICES

Nurses are in a unique position to improve patient safety because of their inherent proximity to patients. This position
gives nurses the needed insight to identify problems in healthcare systems and to be part of patient safety solutions.
However, to do this, nurses must be supported and encouraged without fear of retribution, as well as have an
understanding of how organizational culture change can be accomplished.
